It’s never easy for the Golden State Warriors on the road. On the second leg of a road back-to-back, a battle broke out against the Washington Wizards in D.C.

The game was tight throughout, but the Wizards seized an eight-point lead with 9:31 remaining in the fourth quarter. With the Warriors looking like they were heading toward another loss on the road, Steph Curry and Draymond Green fueled a late run to spark Golden State. 

Curry tallied 12 points in the final frame on 4-of-5 shooting from the field with a pair of 3s to go along with three rebounds and an assist in seven minutes. Green added 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting with a pair of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to help seal a road win over the Wizards, 127-118. 

After giving up 29 or more points in the first three quarters, Golden State’s defense held Washington to their lowest-scoring output of the game in the fourth quarter (25). 

In Washington, Curry registered his best game since returning from a shoulder injury with a game-high 41 points on 12-of-28 shooting from the filed with six made 3s to go along with seven boards and two assists in 38 minutes. 

Green notched a double-double with 17 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field with 10 assists, six boards and three assists in 35 minutes. 

Four other members of the Warriors recorded double-figure scoring efforts, including Jordan Poole with 32 points on 12-of-20 shooting from the floor with six made triples. 

After the Warriors tallied their fifth road win of the season, the NBA community on Twitter chimed in with different reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Monday afternoon.
